Nice discussion, Adam. It’s good to remind ourselves that liberal democracy is meant to accommodate decision making by human beings who do not always agree on things, even pretty fundamental things. Most issues are not existential. Fair elections come close, but within election law there is room to disagree in this semi-principled way that you have described so aptly.

Two points:

1. If this was really a close call and not driven by partisan ideology the probability that all six Republican Justices would vote the way they did is highly questionable.

2. The Court has basically given unrestricted rights for Republican to dilute Black voters. Just call all Black voters Democrats and do whatever you want with them. Maybe states like South Carolina will reach their ultimate goal now, no Democratic Representatives or state legislators. Thank you Supremes.
